The best red pieces to buy now in time for Valentine's Day

We're using the fact that Valentine's Day is just around the corner as an excuse to round up the best red pieces to buy now. Because what better way to refresh your wardrobe than with this punchy shade?

If you like to approach colour with caution, opt for subtle hints of red (a shoe here, a bag there) - these will pep up your otherwise neutral outfits.

Red is a great option for outerwear. Go for darker shades, and pair with a patterned dress and mules for an interesting but versatile look.

Keen to try your hand at colour clashing? Pink and red are a match made in heaven. Team a silky red shirt and trouser combo with magenta shoes and rose-hued earrings for an evening look that packs a serious punch.
